The Music Meister is a villain who can control others by forcing them to dance. He uses this power to make Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta and Clock King do his bidding until Batman intervenes, but the Music Meister escapes. Batman chases him around the city while the Meister frees other villains from incarceration to attack Batman and the other heroes. After hearing Canary's singing voice, the Music Meister falls in love with her, but she does not return his feelings. He then attempts to spread his influence over the entire world by using a satellite and puts Canary back under his spell, but Batman triggers her high-pitched canary cry over the satellite to free the other infected persons. This happened in the Batman: the Brave and the Bold episode, Mayhem of the Music Meister!.
